| Popis: | BACKGROUND Internet-based rehabilitation can ease the progression of chronic diseases. There had been studies on internet-based rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis (OA), but them were conducted at home and ignored the potential benefits in the community setting. This study will explore the feasibility and effectiveness of internet-based rehabilitation accompanies wearable devices in the community setting for the patients with knee OA. METHODS An assessor-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial will be performed to study the feasibility and effectiveness of internet-based rehabilitation program for the patients with knee OA in the community setting. Forty participants with knee OA will be recruited and randomly allocated into internet-based rehabilitation group (IRG) or control group (CG). The interventions of IRG will be performed in the community setting via web-based platform and wearable devices. The outcome measures will be conducted at baseline, and post-intervention 6 weeks, 12 weeks during the study. The feasibility will be tested by the proportion of participants who will complete the internet-based rehabilitation program within 12 weeks in IRG as well as the compliance and satisfaction. Additionally, the effectiveness of internet-based rehabilitation will be assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, 11-point Numerical Rating Scale and Short Form-36 quality-of-life questionnaire. CONCLUSION The internet-based rehabilitation program and community-based interventions is feasible and efficacy to ameliorate the osteoarthritic pain and promote the physical function and quality of life for the patients with knee OA in the community setting. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER The study was registered in the clinical trial registry ChiCTR2000033397. |
